filtering by taxa: SILVA

Hi @Kotryna,

I have a couple of suggestions about the SILVA reference database.

  1. Update to the latest pre-made SILVA classifiers. If needed, you can train the classifiers yourself using these files.
  2. Use RESCRIPt to make your own SILVA reference database.

As for filtering away organelle / plastid sequences, see the documentation here.

Also, this information may help too.

-Cheers!
